Orientation (graph Theory)
In graph theory, an orientation of an undirected graph is an assignment of a direction to each edge, turning the initial graph into a directed graph. Oriented graphs A directed graph is called an oriented graph if none of its pairs of vertices is linked by two mutually symmetric edges. Among directed graphs, the oriented graphs are the ones that have no 2-cycles (that is at most one of and may be arrows of the graph). A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph. A polytree is an orientation of an undirected tree. Sumner's conjecture states that every tournament with vertices contains every polytree with vertices. The number of non-isomorphic oriented graphs with vertices (for ) is : 1, 2, 7, 42, 582, 21480, 2142288, 575016219, 415939243032, … . Tournaments are in one-to-one correspondence with complete directed graphs (graphs in which there is a directed edge in one or both directions between every pair of distinct vertices). A complete directed graph can be con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

K-edge-connected Graph
In graph theory, a connected graph is -edge-connected if it remains connected whenever fewer than edges are removed. The edge-connectivity of a graph is the largest for which the graph is -edge-connected. Edge connectivity and the enumeration of -edge-connected graphs was studied by Camille Jordan in 1869. Formal definition Let G = (V, E) be an arbitrary graph. If the subgraph G' = (V, E \setminus X) is connected for all X \subseteq E where , X, < k, then ''G'' is said to be ''k''-edge-connected. The edge connectivity of is the maximum value ''k'' such that ''G'' is ''k''-edge-connected. The smallest set ''X'' whose removal disconnects ''G'' is a minimum cut in ''G''. The edge connectivity version of Menger's theorem provides an alternative and equivalent character ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Partially Ordered Set
In mathematics, especially order theory, a partial order on a Set (mathematics), set is an arrangement such that, for certain pairs of elements, one precedes the other. The word ''partial'' is used to indicate that not every pair of elements needs to be comparable; that is, there may be pairs for which neither element precedes the other. Partial orders thus generalize total orders, in which every pair is comparable. Formally, a partial order is a homogeneous binary relation that is Reflexive relation, reflexive, antisymmetric relation, antisymmetric, and Transitive relation, transitive. A partially ordered set (poset for short) is an ordered pair P=(X,\leq) consisting of a set X (called the ''ground set'' of P) and a partial order \leq on X. When the meaning is clear from context and there is no ambiguity about the partial order, the set X itself is sometimes called a poset. Partial order relations The term ''partial order'' usually refers to the reflexive partial order relatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comparability Graph
In graph theory and order theory, a comparability graph is an undirected graph that connects pairs of elements that are comparable to each other in a partial order. Comparability graphs have also been called transitively orientable graphs, partially orderable graphs, containment graphs, and divisor graphs. An incomparability graph is an undirected graph that connects pairs of elements that are not comparable to each other in a partial order. Definitions and characterization For any strict partially ordered set , the comparability graph of is the graph of which the vertices are the elements of and the edges are those pairs of elements such that . That is, for a partially ordered set, take the directed acyclic graph In mathematics, particularly graph theory, and computer science, a directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a directed graph with no directed cycles.

Transitive Closure
In mathematics, the transitive closure of a homogeneous binary relation on a set (mathematics), set is the smallest Relation (mathematics), relation on that contains and is Transitive relation, transitive. For finite sets, "smallest" can be taken in its usual sense, of having the fewest related pairs; for infinite sets is the unique minimal element, minimal transitive superset of . For example, if is a set of airports and means "there is a direct flight from airport to airport " (for and in ), then the transitive closure of on is the relation such that means "it is possible to fly from to in one or more flights". More formally, the transitive closure of a binary relation on a set is the smallest (w.r.t. ⊆) transitive relation on such that ⊆ ; see . We have = if, and only if, itself is transitive. Conversely, transitive reduction adduces a minimal relation from a given relation such that they have the same closure, that is, ; however, many differen ...

Transitive Orientation
In graph theory and order theory, a comparability graph is an undirected graph that connects pairs of elements that are comparability, comparable to each other in a partial order. Comparability graphs have also been called transitively orientable graphs, partially orderable graphs, containment graphs, and divisor graphs. An incomparability graph is an undirected graph that connects pairs of elements that are not comparability, comparable to each other in a partial order. Definitions and characterization For any strict partial order, strict partially ordered set , the comparability graph of is the graph of which the vertices are the elements of and the edges are those pairs of elements such that . That is, for a partially ordered set, take the directed acyclic graph, apply transitive closure, and remove orientation. Equivalently, a comparability graph is a graph that has a transitive orientation, an assignment of directions to the edges of the graph (i.e. an Orientation (gra ...

Bipolar Orientation
In graph theory, a bipolar orientation or ''st''-orientation of an undirected graph is an assignment of a direction to each edge (an orientation) that causes the graph to become a directed acyclic graph with a single source ''s'' and a single sink ''t'', and an ''st''-numbering of the graph is a topological ordering of the resulting directed acyclic graph. Definitions and existence Let ''G'' = (''V'',''E'') be an undirected graph with ''n'' = , ''V'', vertices. An orientation of ''G'' is an assignment of a direction to each edge of ''G'', making it into a directed graph. It is an acyclic orientation if the resulting directed graph has no directed cycles. Every acyclically oriented graph has at least one ''source'' (a vertex with no incoming edges) and at least one ''sink'' (a vertex with no outgoing edges); it is a bipolar orientation if it has exactly one source and exactly one sink. In some situations, ''G'' may be given together with two designated vertic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Planar Dual
In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, the dual graph of a planar graph is a graph that has a vertex for each face of . The dual graph has an edge for each pair of faces in that are separated from each other by an edge, and a self-loop when the same face appears on both sides of an edge. Thus, each edge of has a corresponding dual edge, whose endpoints are the dual vertices corresponding to the faces on either side of . The definition of the dual depends on the choice of embedding of the graph , so it is a property of plane graphs (graphs that are already embedded in the plane) rather than planar graphs (graphs that may be embedded but for which the embedding is not yet known). For planar graphs generally, there may be multiple dual graphs, depending on the choice of planar embedding of the graph. Historically, the first form of graph duality to be recognized was the association of the Platonic solids into pairs of dual polyhedra. Graph duality is a topologica ...

Graph Coloring
In graph theory, graph coloring is a methodic assignment of labels traditionally called "colors" to elements of a Graph (discrete mathematics), graph. The assignment is subject to certain constraints, such as that no two adjacent elements have the same color. Graph coloring is a special case of graph labeling. In its simplest form, it is a way of coloring the Vertex (graph theory), vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices are of the same color; this is called a vertex coloring. Similarly, an ''edge coloring'' assigns a color to each Edge (graph theory), edges so that no two adjacent edges are of the same color, and a face coloring of a planar graph assigns a color to each Face (graph theory), face (or region) so that no two faces that share a boundary have the same color. Vertex coloring is often used to introduce graph coloring problems, since other coloring problems can be transformed into a vertex coloring instance. For example, an edge coloring of a graph is just ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gallai–Hasse–Roy–Vitaver Theorem
In graph theory, the Gallai–Hasse–Roy–Vitaver theorem is a form of duality between the colorings of the vertices of a given undirected graph and the orientations of its edges. It states that the minimum number of colors needed to properly color any graph G equals one plus the length of a longest path in an orientation of G chosen to minimize this path's The orientations for which the longest path has minimum length always include at least one This theorem implies that every orientation of a graph with contains a simple directed path with this path can be constrained to begin at any vertex that can reach all other vertices of the oriented Examples A bipartite graph may be oriented from one side of the bipartition to the other. The longest path in this orientation has length one, with only two vertices. Conversely, if a graph is oriented without any three-vertex paths, then every vertex must either be a source (with no incoming edges) or a sink (with no outgoing edge ...

Directed Acyclic Graph
In mathematics, particularly graph theory, and computer science, a directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a directed graph with no directed cycles. That is, it consists of vertices and edges (also called ''arcs''), with each edge directed from one vertex to another, such that following those directions will never form a closed loop. A directed graph is a DAG if and only if it can be topologically ordered, by arranging the vertices as a linear ordering that is consistent with all edge directions. DAGs have numerous scientific and computational applications, ranging from biology (evolution, family trees, epidemiology) to information science (citation networks) to computation (scheduling). Directed acyclic graphs are also called acyclic directed graphs or acyclic digraphs. Definitions A graph is formed by vertices and by edges connecting pairs of vertices, where the vertices can be any kind of object that is connected in pairs by edges.
